How Positive Thinking Can Improve Your Health
I’m sure you’ve heard a lot being said about the power of positive thinking. Even the very famous Law of Attraction which has been immortalized in the book The Secret speaks about the power of optimism. The law goes as far as to say that if you think positively about something with complete devotion, the universe changes its plans to make it happen for you. ( How amazing is that?!) That may be well be true because if you have a very positive thought about something, you are going to consciously or subconsciously take some actions in order to fulfill it. You may not even know that you are doing something for your wish fulfillment. And, when you are planning things in a particular direction, things begin to take the shape you want.
That apart, there are several other benefits of positive thinking that you may not have given much thought to. Here are some of them.
When you divest yourself in thinking positively, people consider you to be better company. Who would anyway want to be with someone who is always shrouded in the cloak of pessimism? Pessimism is infectious; it doesn’t just pull you down, but it dampens the spirits of the people who are with you too. Hence, if you think too negatively, people are not going to want to associate themselves with you. Thus, who you surround yourself with is SUPER important.
Positive thinking can make you cheerful. Try it the next time you are going through a rough patch. Forgetting the turbulent times you are in, think optimistically about the future. And think hard. You will find that sooner or later you are able to shun the thought of debility and surge ahead by focusing on something that you can be grateful for. You cannot completely forget the gravity of a stressful situation, but at least you become more gracious in handling it. What I’m suggesting is to find something to be Grateful for!
Also, positive thinking keeps you moving forward. Pessimism can make you depressed and you lose your strength to move forward. You begin wallowing with self-pity and do nothing to improve the situation. You begin blaming yourself and others.( How many times have you noticed friends that are addicted to self pity and negativity?) Nothing constructive is done when you waste your time thinking negatively. Such waste is criminal. But, if you begin to think positively, you can get up again and move on.
If you want to create a more positive life, which is personality that can inspire other people as well, then you have to start thinking positively even in the toughest of times. . When you can do this, you are motivating not only yourself ,but those around you.
So, do not undermine the power of positive thinking. Do me a favor, leave me 1 thing below that you are grateful for.
